Fireworks and the Fourth, With or Without the Crowds

Where to go to celebrate Independence Day

By Amy Laskowski. Photos by Richard Taffe

Each year, hundreds of thousands of people jam the Esplanade for the
city’s Fourth of July concert and fireworks. The 35th anniversary of
the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, on Friday,
July 4, promises to be no different. But there are other spots in and
around Boston that offer great views of the pyrotechnics — with smaller
crowds.

No matter the location, remember to bring water, a lawn
chair, mosquito repellent, a picnic basket, and even a radio if you
want to hear the Pops play while you watch.

We watched it on Peters Hill in the Arnold Arboretum.

Pretty nice view and no crazy crowds when things ended.

Here is a link to the pyrotechnics from where we were:
